3rd Person POV

Maki Katsuragi's alarm rang as he awoke with a start.He groaned before sitting up hitting the alarm quickly as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.He smiled softly as he thought of his day, of what he was looking forward to.The boy's soft tennis club.He's been apart of it for a couple months and ever since it's felt like something to look toward to.Being apart of a team makes things seem so whole, and warm.He did his usual routine but his body was sluggish.
Hope I'm not catching anything
He thought, his throat scratchy and rough.He prepared something light and easy for breakfast as he waited for his mother to arise.And once he started making a pot of coffee she shuffled around the small apartment.It didn't take long before she was running into grab a mug.After a cup or two she sighed and laid back in her chair.Maki at that point was done with breakfast and sat it down.They both ate peacefully but something told Maki's mother that something was off.
"Are you okay Maki?You look a bit pale."She asked before placing her palm on his forehead."And your a bit warm,"She stated and Maki shook his head.
"Nah, I'm fine, just need to eat,"He reassured her.
"Okay but come home early today, at 6 if possible, I know you have club practice,"She stated, voicing Maki's predicament.He nodded thinking about his schedule.He normally got home near 7 at the latest, especially if one or more of his club mates came over for his cooking.He smiled at his mom.
"I'm sure I'll be fine,"He said smiling before getting up and looking at the time."I have to go, don't forget anything for work,"Maki called out as he started getting ready to leave.
"I won't!Have a good day!!"She called.

Maki ran down the stairs quickly but was cautious so he wouldn't fall.Once he was down and out the building he caught his eyes on Mitsue.The girl who observed the boy's soft tennis club, yet she doesn't give a reason why.
"Hi Mitsue,"Maki called out grabbing her attention.
"Hi Katsuragi, what's up?"She asked
"Nothing, so you coming to watch the club today again?"Maki asked
"Nah, I have something to do, but I'll be done after."She said and Maki nodded.They quickly went and soon arrived to there class.Maki's gaze caught on to Toma and he smiled.
"Good morning Toma,"Maki said as he walked up to him.
"Good morning Maki, have any ideas for the team?"Toma asked, Maki shook his head.
"Nope, were all good,"Maki said, before the bell rang signaling the start of class.

Classes were finally over and it would have been an understatement if he said he was tired.He was down right exhausted.But he also needed to go to the club.So he went.He met up with the others after a bit once he changed into his uniform.Toma explained that they were going to be doing some practice matches which wasn't as nice as Maki would have thought a week ago.His body was shaking at this point and it took everything for him to not pass out.
"Maki are you okay?Do you need to skip practice today?"Yu asked and Maki jolted away slightly before calming himself.
"I'm fine,"He said but his eyes averted Yu's.Yu knew how stubborn Maki could be sometimes and they felt they couldn't push him.
"Oh...well, take it easy today...okay?"Yu asked softly and Maki nodded but he regretted quickly that he didn't accept the chance to take a break today.Once it was his and Toma's turn he stumbled up before going on to the court.And the team knew that something was off, even more for Toma, he knew Maki normally was very composed and relaxed but now he seemed sluggish and tense.But no one could tell him to get off the court.Maki took his stance at the front but his legs were shaking.Yu reluctantly blew the whistle for them to start.The other team, Itsuki and Rintaro were reluctantly starting the match and they tried to avoid having Maki do much.But eventually Itsuki slipped and hit the ball toward him.Maki looked up slightly and wobbled forward before hitting the ball weakly.The ball hit the net and the game slowed.Everyone was looking at Maki, he was shaking, and his eyes were haft lidded it took a few minutes before someone picked the ball up again and started.They tried really hard this time to avoid him but they didn't expect him to take the initiative and hit the ball that was supposed to go to Toma.He hit it before his legs shakily brought his body down.He was panting by now, and his fists were in a ball.
"Damn it..."He muttered to himself.Yu stopped the game and everyone went to check on him.
"Are you okay Maki?"Toma asked as he helped him up.Maki shook his head as he leaned on Toma's chest.He was panting for air and his face was red and hot."He has a fever.."Toma said and the team frowned.They didn't like seeing Maki in such a weak state, it wasn't normal."I'll take him home, club's over for today, everyone take it easy, okay?"Toma instructed and everyone nodded but there mood was down.
"Let me help you Toma,"Yu proposed as they pulled Maki's arm up to their shoulders.
"Thanks Yu,"Toma said but he looked worriedly at Maki.They took him home and put him to bed.
"We should make him something.."Toma suggested and Yu nodded.
"Ah!I know let's make chicken soup, I know a recipe for some,"Yu said and Toma nodded."I'll write the ingredients and recipe on paper so we know what we're doing,"Yu said as they went to grab a piece of paper and a pencil.Before Toma could go with Yu, Maki grabbed his wrist.
"Maki!"Toma exclaimed before coming closer.Maki's breathing was heavy and his face was a tomato red.
"My...my wallet...it should be in my bag...take it and buy the ingredients...."He said in a rough, hoarse voice.
"W-What about you...I can't just leave you here...and what abou-!"Toma started before he was interrupted by Maki.
"I'll be fine!!I'll stay out of trouble okay?"Maki said in a whisper his eyes on the door, waiting to see if Yu was there.
"We'll come back soon, okay?"Toma reassured and Maki nodded before closing his eyes.Little did they now that Yu was listening, and it made them more confused.What was Toma going to say before Maki interrupted him?Yu was as confused as ever but didn't pry, whatever they were talking about, they would tell everyone about it...right?
